A PAGE IN HISTORY.
KNITTING NATIONAL TIES. BETWEEN AMERICA AND ENGLAND. [By Electric Telegraph—Copyright] [United Press Association.] London, June 8. Lord Roberts presided at the Pilgrims’ Club welcome to the American Ambassador. Sir E. Grey, proposing Mr Page’s health, said that if America submitted peace proposals making the conflicts of nations more remote, Britain would be pleased to take the initiative, cause she was beyond the reach of menace or aggression. Mr Page, in reply, said that the time was long past when they needed to indulge in makeshifts in intercourse. Two great English nations could speak together frankly to those having much land and small coast-line. The British Empire was an unfathomable wonder till one reflected that it was not, built by standing on this email island, but by standing astride seven seas.
